Reply to comment by Locksmith-Pitiful in $27M grant could finish Providence's bike lane network, but Smiley noncommittal by lestermagnum

Also the owners of Plant City were strongly opposing the bike lane by their store…

That's really disappointing to me, someone who goes to Plant City all the time and likes not having to worry about being run over by bikes on the sidewalk because of this new addition.

Yea it comes off as highly inconsistent to be pro-environment on all fronts except when it comes to putting up a bike lane in front of your shop. I have to admit I prefer other vegetarian restaurants better for the food anyway…

You would think that someone owning a vegan restaurant would also be pro bike. At least from an ideology standpoint.

That’s what surprised me as well. Or like at least not anti-bike. We can’t expect everyone to openly support it, but openly detracting is pretty spicy when the ethos of your business is sustainability.
